Abstract

Features characterizing the formation of the spatial (in depth and horizontal distance) interference structure of an acoustic field generated by a point tone source or a vertically distributed tone source in a shallow-water oceanic waveguide are considered. The waveguide is modeled by a three-layered fluid medium. The main object of the study is the effect of the acoustic parameters of the sediment layer on the formation and structure of the spatial regions within which the diffraction focusing of the acoustic field takes place.
